It retells the story of the performance of the band’s ‘Punk Prayer’ in a Moscow cathedral in 2012, which led to imprisonment of three members of the group, including Alyokhina.

The performance also features members of Russian band Asian Women On The Telephone. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. More info here.
